if you’re a thought
you will want me
to think you
and I did

invite a Guest
up until you announced
that
you had moved in
“what do you plan to do
with all your freedom?”
the new sheriff said,
quite proud of his
Badge
“you must admit the Land is now
in good hands”

yes, time will tell that
you just life your lamp

I will follow
Her on her path
Scarlet’s Walk
through the voilets
just tell your
Gods for me
all debts are off this year
they’re free to leave
yes they’re free
to leave

leaving terra
leaving terra

there was a time
when i thought that
Her destiny
should’ve been
mine
Big Brave Nation
but instead her Medicine
now forgotten

“what do you plan to do
with all your stories”
the new sheriff said,
quite proud of his Badge
we’ll weave them through
every
rocket’s red glare
and
huddled masses
you just lift your lamp

I will follow
Her on her path
Scarlet’s Walk
through the violets
just tell your
Gods for me
all debts are off this year
they’re free to leave
yes they’re free
to leave

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth’s climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand
